Corvus brachyrhynchos
(Common Crow, American Crow)
NOTE: These are mesh birds so you must have a mesh enabled viewer to use them.
These mischievous Crows make great SL companions. Send them off to forage for peanuts (and sunflower seeds if you have a CKit Bird Feeder!) or take advantage of a sudden rain shower and let them take a bath!
Included in the crate are a Basic Crow (he has the lowest LI and script impact of the Crows) that can either be left rezzed in-world (controlled by your HUD), or attached to your shoulder; and the regular Crows, one for your other shoulder, and another that sits on your left hand.
Rez a CKit Perch and send your Crow to it. Touching the post of the Perch will make it look like a dead branch. Rez several, attach them to trees and you can go on your own "hawk walk" with your Crow going from branch to branch! Bedtime? Send your Crow to a Perch, then touch his body to make him go to sleep (touch him again to wake him up). Use one of the included HUDs and have him follow you, go to another perch, or come back to you.
If you let your attached Crow fly at random, he will spy a stray peanut near-by and fly off, then return on his own, or have him only fly up when you touch his head. You can make him go to sleep, rename him, etc. Sound can be turned off and on and Bonus sounds are included. Target someone and have a particle battle, or just poof Crows while your Crow dances with you. He also has a pose menu for photo opportunities.
The Crows are resizable (the large size should be closer to a Raven in size) and can be renamed. The petting menu has an options menu that allows you to change the petting animations to better fit your avatar.
The hold animation for the hand-held Crow uses priority 6 so you shouldn't have any problem with conflicting AOs (if you do, you can also set a timer). If you're riding a ~*Water Horse*~ QuarterHorse or Belgian, there is an option in the Crow's menu to hold the reins in your right hand while holding the bird on your left. Using the Crow's ride animation will allow your avatar to use the random ~*Water Horse*~ petting animation. (using the HUD's animation will override the petting and is not recommended) If you ride a Warmblood or Clydesdale you don't need the ride animation as you will already be holding the reins in your right hand.
Included in the Crate is a Bonus Gift, Fitted Bento Mesh Gloves (male and female sizes) with a HUD. The HUD does everything the original HUD does plus has Bento animations in it and can be used to retexture or alpha the gloves.
You can see the Crows using the bird feeders in the garden outside the shop in Ezquerra. (they also eat from a couple of other sources there that will be available in the future ;) )

That's I always wished!
Love it! Very good texture and animated. Thanks
Absolutely amazing!
I first looked into this and saw the price tag thinking it was a little steep.. after purchasing it, I am MORE than satisfied! The actual crow is so well made, the animations lovely and life-like, the sounds so realistic, I couldn't have asked for a better product! I only had it a day and got asked by 3 different people about it because of how great it looks and acts.
I had a tiny alpha issue going on and I ended up contacting the creator and got prompt and wonderfully amazing customer support. That pretty much sealed the deal for me - this product is WELL WORTH the price and if I could rate 10 stars, I would. Would definitely buy from again :)
Buy it if you're considering it... you'll be so happy with it!
bad
the animations on this thing are probably the worst ive ever seen. veeeeeeery robotic and the lil comments are very annoying. it may look like mesh but when it animates the wings become prim
Just what I needed!
I use this pair not only to show them off in SL everywhere, but for role-play. I love that you can turn off their comments and sound when not wanted / appropriate. This pair is detailed, realistic and full of personality. I named mine Huginn and Muninn and they are both peanut fanatics! The notecard included about AOs that will work with these friends of mine was very helpful. Too cute! Great product!
looks absolutely great, fabulously animated but ...
Yes, there is a but, 3 reasons it will not get 5 stars. The first is the default on local chat, I bought it for roleplay and the chat being on by default and it saying "Come, common crow," or whatever you have renamed, it is disruptive to roleplay. Second is it is not a crow, brows have yellow beaks, it is a raven and though I prefer it being a raven it is mislabeled. Third, the most grievous of detractors from reviews, the seller did not reply to the notecard I sent her and that is poor customer service. Anyone selling in SL is taking on a customer service responsibility. If this had no detractors from the review it would have a higher rating but with the detractors it gets a 2 star review. If my problems are addressed i will rereview at a much higher level of satisfaction.
Sensational
Absolutely one of the best animal pets ive bought on SL, the variety of animations is brilliant......SenBloodysational.....love it.
